I'm not sure what you want me to look these folks up in, as I don't have the W section of either the census or the tax digest (I was careful to list, in my email, the exact names covered). When asking for a lookup please help the volunteer by putting the name of the book, or whatever in either the subject slot or the body of the message. Many of us do lookups in several different resources, and it's impossible to know what you want unless you tell us.

I'm sorry to say my DC researching turned up little on my illusive Milledgeville Millers. There are few books devoted to Baldwin County and Milledgeville in the Library of Congress or the DAR Library, and even fewer on Philips County Arkansas, where I think the Millers emigrated to ca 1841. I'm use to doing research on PA or VA ancestors, and the resources are so much greater for these states! Makes it hard! Anyway, I copied a page of Milledgeville Newspaper clippings from the Southern Recorder, and will list the names on the page in case it will help others....the year is 1823. In many cases the info is little, but if you recognize anyone I'll be glad to send the rest of the info to you, if you email me.

Danelly Joseph Cook Arthur Ginn Sterling Bass Benjamin Askew Maria Pitts Sarah Miller Ezekiel Miller I also have a page of the 1820 Federal Census for Baldwin co Jones through Moore, that I will check for your names , and the 1810 tax digest Averett through Horn...if interested, email me and I'll check the lists for you....the only information is the HOH, and nothing else is listed. The actual 1810 census was lost when the British burned D C in the War of 1812, but this is a tax digest of 1810 which is the best substitute for the missing census, and includes males between 21 and 69 who did not appear in the census as HOH....males who owned no land but had to pay a Poll tax and thus were recorded in the Tax Digest.

I believe Black Springs Baptist Church is part of the Washington Baptist Association. I have been there, about 27 years ago, and had a college friend who grew up there. Mrs. Broome at Mercer University Library can probably help you with church records. You may also try to locate the Association office address online. If I find it, I will post it to the list for all. I will send the Mercer address to the list as well.

Posted on: Baldwin Co. Ga Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Baldwin?read=106 Surname: KING ------------------------- I have my grandmothers original Teacher's License, with the following info: Issued to: Miss BOYCE KING on June 18th, 1892 in Baldwin County, GA by order of the County Board of Education. Signed by Rich(???) Lamar, County School Commissioner (the middle of his name looks like a small "o" and capital "N") She later lived in Coweta County and married my grandfather, ROBERT LEE BROWN (who I also seek info about) she died in 1917-1919, when there was apparently a flu epidemic. Thank you for any help you can give.

Gayle, when you don't specify WHO it is you wish to do the lookup, how are we to know? Also, it's always wise to include some sort of time frame for your folks......if you were asking me to look in the Milledgeville Methodist records, there are no McCoys at all.

Laura, I found a Henry Moss in the Milledgeville Methodist records....a Henry and a Sally Moss are both listed as members, in 1811...they are both designated as married, but it doesn't say that they are married to each other. also for 1811 is a Keziah Moss. Henry and Sally y are both listed in the same manner for 1812. Another list for 1812 lists Henry, but no Sally. There is, however, Keziah Moss, and Patsey Freeman, in the same listing. The above are the only Moss listings in the index. Sandra -----Original Message----- From: Laura F.

Dear Mary Ann, When you have the time could you please look up the Freeman and Moss families before 1850? Sandra did a look up for me last week and found Patsey Freeman in the Methodist Church. I am sorting out my records but she is likely to be Patsey Moss Freeman the wife of Fredrick Freeman of Baldwin Co. The exact person I am looking for. These look ups are invaluable and I do appreciate the assistance you have both provided to me. Now I am interested to see if any of Patsey Moss' family are in the area.

FOR: Sandra I would appreciate it very much if you would check and see if you find a Francis Haynes ALLEY or his 2nd wife Malinda WILSON in you Methodist book. Malinda was born September 6, 1834, Married my great grandfather Francis Haynes ALLEY September 16, 1855, she died July 14, 1857. She had one son Howell Cobb ALLEY born August 9, 1856, he died August 18, 1857. So He died shortly after she did. There were other children in the household, however, from my great grandfathers first marriage. Any help will be appreciated. Joe P. Alley JAlley1@aol.com
